  1. Do you have enough heating oil?
    Enough money to pay the energy bill?

    I think some big catastrophes will happen this winter in many countries around the world:
    demonstrations and uprisings of the poor who can't pay the high costs of living caused by the idiotic decisions (sanctions etc) of their dumb leaders (--> groupthinking effect), which led to this high inflation not seen since the 1970ies.

    Groupthinking effect: 1 million flies can't be wrong... :D :banghead:

    Dont use heating oil,have central AC and heat.

    I have a free nights plan with free energy from 8pm to 6am with a locked in rate of around 11 cents a kilowatt for about another year so I'm good.

    Gordon Brown: ‘Set emergency budget or risk a winter of dire poverty’

    By Michael Savage, Policy Editor, Sat 6 Aug 2022 19.03 BST

    Former PM has warned of a financial timebomb awaiting families as Labour plans a major intervention to address crisis

    Boris Johnson and the Tory leadership candidates should agree an immediate emergency budget tackling the spiralling cost of living, Gordon Brown has said, or risk “condemning millions of vulnerable and blameless children and pensioners to a winter of dire poverty”.

    The intervention by the former prime minister comes as new figures seen by the Observer show that more than 4 million households are on course to spend a quarter of their net income on energy.

    “The reality is grim and undeniable: a financial timebomb will explode for families in October as a second round of fuel price rises in six months sends shock waves through every household and pushes millions over the edge,” Brown writes [...]

    You have a heat pump for winter heat? If so, is it air or a ground unit?

    George bush hadn't seen a scanner at the grocery because little people had been feeding his ass for decades. Buy stuff? I have people for that.
